Impact Academy is a non-profit organization that enables people to become world-class leaders, thinkers, and doers who are using their careers and character to solve our most pressing problems and create the best possible future.
In an earlier life I worked with machine learning/software engineering in venture capital/finance.
Fun fact: I won the grand prize (100 000 SEK) on the Swedish quiz show “Muren” which I donated through geeffektivt.se
To add on this, I’m confused by your choice to grow these teams quite abruptly as opposed to incrementally. What’s your underlying reasoning?
This article is primarily aimed at donors, not grantees.

Thank you for the write-up!
This line:
“Note (23 November 2022): It was announced that FTX.com, Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange, is facing a severe financial crisis.”
Makes it seem that the announcement and article are from November 23rd and not November 8th, which I fear slightly less attentive people might miss.
This understanding is correct. All funding decisions are made by individual members and decisions don’t necessarily reflect the aggregate view of the circle.
